With storage it always seems that the devil's in the details. Are there any upload/download caps in place? Are they documented? Are they scanning it? Downsampling it? Checking it against some DMCA database? What happens when Junio

I am always surprised that people analogize moonshot as the ultimate national effort opposite WWII. Despite noir movies like Double Indemnity, which don't seem to show any effects at all, reading about it, it always seems that WWII eff

I just had an image of pranksters "swatting" datacenters by feeding false information to Nvidia that they are using consumer cards.

Is there an easy way that Nvidia can cripple their graphics targeted cards so they can't be used for GPCPU? I'm thinking back to strategies like the 486SX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_80486SX

IMHO they are waiting for Modularity to mature https://docs.pagure.org/modularity/ since I really think the existing RHEL support model is becoming a tougher sell in today's environment.

I encountered this policy at a previous job at an MSP. A good portion of the workforce were from other countries so the situation was very similar.

The thing that keeps me from investigating/investing in the Suse ecosystem is the lack of a free LTS offering. OpenSuse is Fedora, not Centos which is what they need IMHO.

Now that net neutrality is history doesn't it seem like netflix (and by extension Amazon) extremely vulnerable to the lack of competition in the ISP space in the US? Google at least had something of a workaround with their various effo
